Gathering: New Guest Reception

[concierge]

The black sign positioned in front of the Dining Hall's main entrance reads:

New Guest Reception
TODAY
6 PM - 8 PM

All guests welcome

In the Dining Hall itself, the chairs have been pushed up against the walls and the long dining table turned into a buffet stocked with finger foods. At the far end of the room is a small bar serving beer, standard cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.

Will keeps his face carefully neutral at the mention of Nina Howard. Yes, there's a thing, but it's not something he wants to wave around in MacKenzie's face. "She's starting to see my point of view," Will says, and sips his beer. It's weird talking to Mac about Nina and he hopes they get off the subject.

"Well, whatever you did, keep it up," MacKenzie says, grinning a bit. "If she's off our backs, we can push the envelope and do real news. Although I guess it doesn't matter much here since there's no broadcast to do."

She worries about how long they've been gone and what they've missed. And, of course, how they're going to explain themselves.
